Nkonkonsa Celebrity Gossip From Africa
In a recent interview on Accra 100.5 FM’s Ayekoo Ayekoo midmorning programme with Nana Romeo, Sonnie Badu expressed scepticism about democracy as a governance system for Africa.
He ascribed a great deal of the continent’s difficulties to its wealth of natural and mineral resources.
Badu questioned whether democracy was really more practicable in Africa than monarchy.
He drew comparisons between the United Kingdom and other countries where a monarchy and democratic institutions coexist, emphasizing the advancements achieved by countries with monarchies, such Saudi Arabia and Dubai.
Badu argued that monarchy should be given consideration by African countries because they are known to protect resources and promote stable development.
He criticized the self-interestedness of politicians, blaming it on the high expenses of political campaigns and the need to recoup investments.
The former performer, who is now a pastor, bemoaned the fact that African politicians don’t prioritize the welfare of their people, noting that poverty persists despite abundant resources.
He emphasized how familial ties frequently cross political lines and promote an environment where individuals are exploited in order to make money.
While acknowledging the flaws of the political system, Badu also hinted that this kind of behaviour is normal in politics and may continue until people experience it personally.
He issued a warning against political opposition’s inherent dishonesty, which frequently puts politicians’ interests ahead of the general public’s.
In conclusion, Badu expressed concern about the situation facing African Americans in the face of political scheming and argued for a better understanding of political processes and the social consequences they have.
